He's good with words. It kept resounding in my mind. For a minute, it made me forget Noah's betrayal.
I didn't know I was this tipsy until I found myself staggering into the toilet, with my eyes blurrily searching for the toilet.
I was able to get into the female bathroom and pee the drink into the toilet. I flushed and staggered to the front mirror to check myself out. I slid the tap and squashed water onto my face. I opened my purse and took out my hankie to dab my face.
When I looked up, I saw a man standing beside me with an ugly smile in the mirror. My eyes were twitching to see if I wasn't hallucinating. It was when his cold hands grabbed me from behind that I struggled and was able to push him off me. Even in my drunk state, I could notice he was drunk too. I watched him stand up to his feet and dash towards me. I weakly tried to shove him off, but he was damn strong.
He gripped me from behind and pushed me to the wall, tracing kisses over my body. I yelped, disgusted at the smell of the alcohol enveloping us.
"Leave me alone." I tried to push him away, but he was too strong for me. He grabbed a handful of my hair and I yelped out in pain.
"Shut up, you bitch!." He cussed, and I knew the next thing was to slap the hell outta me. I shut my eyes and waited for the impact, but instead I heard a groan, a kick, and smacks. I slowly peeped out to see an angel in human form.
I grinned.
"You drank a lot, pretty." He said, pulling off his coat and covering my body. Slowly, he wrapped his hand around my waist and started walking towards the door, but I fell right at the doorway. My legs grew suddenly weak and couldn't move further.
He bent down and picked me up in a bridal style. My head snuggled into his shirt and I inhaled his cologne. He smelt so nice.
I giggled when he placed me in his car and tried to leave. I dragged him down and tried to kiss him, but he gently shoved me down and shut the car door.
I put my head on the headrest and relaxed back in the car seat as I slowly drifted off.
I woke up when I felt his hands move up and down my body. I saw him carrying me in his arms and I only nuzzled my head into his broad chest.
I was placed down on the bed, and he moved me under the blanket and kissed my forehead.
A few seconds later, I heard the rushing shower in the bathroom and I slowly climbed down the bed, I staggered towards the noise and popped my head into the bathroom.
The way the water rushed down his broad chest, down to his biceps, I stood right there, admiring his perfect body. His chocolate brown hair was now clasped backward, making me get a better view of his cheekbone.
When he opened his eyes and saw me, I laughed. The vodka was too strong for me to have a grip over myself. He didn't look surprised but walked out of the shower, and I watched him tie a towel around his waist.
"You wanna take a bath?" He asked softly, and I nodded, he walked towards me and helped me into the bathroom. I hugged myself to his wet body and felt this cold sensation building inside.
He wrapped his hand around me and slowly zipped down my dress which fell to the floor. I was exposed in my black bra and panties. He carried me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist and my hands around his neck.
He walked back into the shower and made me lean against the chilled wall of the bathroom. Slowly, his hand walked itself around my body, rubbing his hand anywhere it could touch. I bit my lips trying to overcome the tempting urge to kiss him. The usual sparks and overwhelming touch I felt under his touches, made me want to grab this sexy-ass man and kiss him as if my life depended on it.
"Okay, let's wash your hair." He mumbled sexily into my ear. I tightened my hand around his neck as he took me off the wall. I didn't know I was this light on him cos he didn't feel like he was carrying someone in his arms.
I felt water hit my hair and my face like rain. I tilted my head behind as he used his nice-smelling shampoo to wash my hair. Rubbing my hair as the water rinsed it out, he was finally done. He grabbed a dry towel and wrapped it around my body. He carried me out of the bathroom.
He walked into his walk-in closet and grabbed a nice polo. He put it over my head and slipped it down my body. His hands walked under the polo and unhooked my bra, it fell right on the floor and then to my panties, which he slipped down my legs. I was being undressed like a 3-year-old child who was still learning how to dress properly.
He simply tucked me under the blanket once more, and I tried to kiss him again.
He sighed, "I know, beautiful, I know. But not here, not now." He placed one more peck on my forehead.
"You need to sleep…" He whispers, "You need rest."
I looked at him, his eyes were dark blue, with lust filled. He was trying to stop himself from doing something that we both might regret.
"You're a gentleman." I giggled, but now looking at him with my right senses still feeling tipsy. He chuckled, "I didn't know you could still talk after taking six shots of sangria and a vermouth cocktail." I chuckled lightly, my eyes getting heavier.
He stepped away and walked into his closet. He came out in a blue bathrobe and lay on the couch opposite the bed. I smiled and studied him as he lay with his face up to the ceiling, then I shut my eyes closed as my world slowly went dark.
I woke up with a terrible hangover. I was on a bed, in an unfamiliar room. I sat up on the bed, groaning with a severe tumbling in my head. Everything that happened on the last day suddenly came flooding back to me. The bar, drinking with a guy, excessively bragging about how I drank in high school, and stupidly consuming the six shots of sangria. In the toilet, the way that man almost raped me, gosh…someone tried to rape me, yeah…a guy saved me. I looked around and gasped when I saw my black lingerie dangling over a couch. I panicked for a second. Oh God! Had I slept with that man? Oh my God. Then it hit me, staggering over that door and popping my head into his bathroom, and giggling like an idiot. What other stupid things have I done with this man?My purse was beside my underthings and my dress was on top of the couch. It almost choked me, I couldn't remember it all. I didn't want to see more, only my mind was doing things right now. Showering, touching, kisses. I had sex with h
...........Next Day."She said, get out and never come back," I replied. Noelle raised her brows and scoffed. "Like I care, huh." She said and I shrugged. We were huddled at our table in the cafeteria. I had gone to my workplace and was shocked when Mrs. Marcel wouldn't let me back after all my pleas to continue. I sipped my coffee and dropped the mug on the table. "We need the money, you know." She shook her head. "I can always ask my parents", she responded."Aren't you big for that? Gosh!, you got to quit that gig and start a reasonable job." I said and she rolled her eyes at me. I huffed and looked up. Two cute guys walked into the café and my memory recoiled at the familiar brown hair and body-built statue. My eyes widened when I remembered him, and I gasped. "Are you okay? Is everything fine?" Noelle asked and looked back. She gasped and turned to look at me. "They're fucking handsome." She squealed. I hit her on her arm and she winced, "Oww!! What's that for?""Stop dro
"She didn't take her pills with her.""Ooh OK." A deep male voice replied to her.I heard voices in the background. I could only pinpoint Elle's voice and the male, I do not know."Why is she taking pills?" The male asked her. She only coughed lightly."Ssh.are you trying to wake her up?" She asked all of a sudden. I knew she was trying to avoid that question."You all are," I muttered, not yet ready to open my eyes."We're sorry!" they whispered together."No use apologizing now." I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. Elle stood with her hand akimbo, and I looked at the male. My eyes grew wide when I saw him, "What for fuck sake are you doing here?" I yelled. My head ached at the way I shouted at him.I winced."I thought you said you were her friend, and you saved her," Noelle said, sitting on the bed. I looked up at her, "Yes, he saved me, but friends, I do not…""Stop talking baby,"She cut me off. "I'll go make your favorite tea, hm." She added and left.I looked at him, "Are you sta
I walked the route, taking drinks to the people on the raised platform of the club where couches and coffee tables were. It was more like a lounge on that raised platform than anything else-in my opinion. Once I dropped their drinks, I turned and raced back to my bar stool. The club may have been busy, but there wasn't much demand for drinks. I watched the swaying forms on the dance floor, giving it my best effort not to stare at my stalker who had given himself the work of sitting in any corner of the bar while I served the customers. He's been doing that since I last had an attack on my way home. He was stubborn and strange. Once, when it was 5pm in the evening, he would occupy a seat and order one thing or the other. The way he usually stared at me as I served the customers, would make me feel awkward and strange. I would sometimes try not to act clumsy while dropping the drinks on their tables. I had stepped up to him and asked him to leave me alone, but he only told me that he
"Good morning, Kat." A cheerful voice greeted me. I looked up to the doorway and saw Noelle smiling at me, carrying a tray of pancakes. Grinning, I waved at her, "Good morning, Elle." "Do you want some pancakes? I made it myself." She told me proudly, I smiled and sat up on the bed. "Okay…" She walked further into the room and sat on the bed. I picked one of the pancakes and took a bite. "Humm…" Shaking my head, "It's really tasty." She giggled, "Right?" "100%," I replied and smiled while chewing it quietly. Then, she looked like she wanted to say something. "What's it? You look distant." I said. She nodded, "You know, hm. My mom is out of cash, and we've run out of cash lately. Can you give me some money? And I'll pay you back, I promise." I dropped the pancake and looked at her. "I spoke to your mom yesterday, and she did not tell me this…" I said, eying her closely."Ah…she called me last night, while you were at work," Elle replied. Lying bitch.I'm like a daughter to Mr
Aiden's POV."Moan my name, baby." "A.I.d.e.n.""Do you love it? Do you love my dick?" I whispered and bit her ear. She leaped up and moaned enthusiastically. "Yeah. That's feeling, hold on, I'm gonna cum now." I kissed her lips and positioned myself at a faster rate. Her moans filled the room as I dug deeper and faster into her hole when I felt it coming. Roughly, I pushed her hair backward as I spilled my sperm on her face, making her lick and swallow up a quantity. I got out of bed, grabbed my robe from the cushion, and put it over my body, I turned and found the bitch still lying on my bed. "What are you doing?" I asked, her eyes looking up tiredly. Who wouldn't after six rounds of sex? Hell, she's not sleeping over tonight. "Thank you for the sex, you can go now." I tried to sound as polite as I could. "What?." I walked to my bedside, took out a bundle of cash, and threw it at her. "I said, leave," I yelled and she jerked up. She quickly wore her dress and limped off th
I cocked my brows when he said that. I didn't ask him what he meant nor did he explain either. I was feeling restless, agitated and nervous. I wanted to stand up and walk through that door but the only thing holding me right now was Nuelle's mom, who I had come to take as my mom. "How much?," I asked. "Four hundred thousand a month?" My mouth hung, "Huh?." "I'll pay half and if you complete your work in a month, I'll pay the other half of the money." Okay, let me get this straight. I'm only 24, I was in my second year of becoming a therapist with a bachelor's degree until my parents died and my dream of becoming one today was shattered. I had to work for a woman as a secretary to make ends meet. My salary per year wasn't even up to $15,000. Therapists can make an average of $6,584 a month. At most, they might make $10,770 a month. At the very least they'll make $3,650 if they are just starting out or prefer not to pursue a doctorate degree.Individual therapists may make anywhe
Aiden's povA few minutes later, I spotted my driver and Jeremy beside my classical BMW car.As I pushed my carry on in front of my driver, Jeremy opened the door for me and I climbed in. "To the site," I said. "Yes, sir." A few minutes later, the driver stopped in front of my office building. Jeremy stepped out and opened the door for me. Though I heard many greetings directed at me, I walked past them without answering any of them. That's how it has been, and they've gotten used to it. My father started the construction company and handed it to me. I've been doing great at it. Since he died, mom has handled it better than I do. The fact that I'm not always in the country, she manages it even more than my dad. As I walked my way to my private elevator, I checked through my fingerprint scanner located at the elevator entrance. I got into it, with Jeremy following behind. He pressed the button on the 54th floor where my office is located. "Good morning sir," My secretary greete
"Stay away from her and read your books."Nicole turned from the words she was memorizing to her mother."Mom, are you okay?.""I should ask you that. Why did Lilly's mother call me now?. Answer me,"Aiden walks in immediately."What is going on, Honey?." He asked looking from his wife to his daughter."Isn't she too young to fall in love?, love isn't what she should be thinking of right now. And well, that girl's mother is Lily Mila. The one we know of." Kat shouted and walked out of the room.Nicole looked at her dad."Dad, what is going on?. Why's my mom so angry with me?."Aiden replied, "Stay put and I'll talk to your mother."He walks away.Reaching the room, Kat was walking to and fro the room agitatedly. The way Lily talked to her over the phone would make anyone worried.Lily had called her and complained that Nicole made her daughter cry, not only that, that Nicole had taken after her in snatching men.Nicole was too young to be accused of such."Calm down, Kathleen. You're
Kathleen and Aiden made it downstairs together. Kat listened to Aiden after he told her to smile and act like everything's fine so that this would not make her visitor uncomfortable."So which family did you come from?." Aiden asked."The Miles family sir." The young girl replied.Kat asked, "You said your name's Lilly?. Like Lilly Miles?."The girl nodded and she looked at Aiden.Aiden whispered, "Don't tell me you're thinking of..?."Kat bent down and exclaimed, "Oh my god!."Nicole was just watching her parents reactions. As a smart kid, she already knew that her mom was not happy with her guest, then why?. What happened in high school that caused such insecurity?.That has been the question running through her mind."Mom, will I sleep at her place now?." Nicole tactically asked. To ask in front of her friend might make her give in to her. Nicole knew exactly where to get her mother."Fine. But I want you back the next morning. And also stay out of trouble." She ordered.Lilly and
"Nicole.." Lilly screamed, running towards her, she closes her locker and turned around."Xup, Lilly." She grumpily said.Lilly stopped smiling and asked her, "Why do you look sad?.""My mom disagreed, she'd asked me to bring you so she can see you."Lilly's face fell.Too bad."Well, my mom agreed. She'd asked to see the only friend who helped me with my school work." She replied,Lilly repeated classes after she fell numerous times, she was one year older than Nicole and they've become friends after she begged Nicole to help her with school works.Lilly is eleven and Nicole is ten.Nicole was the most popular and brilliant girl in school. She'd won so many trophies for the school."I think you would have to come to my house after school." Nicole said as they both walked away."Well, I've never met your mom. I know you must take after her," Lilly mused. Her friend was perfect, she had the perfect family, mom, dad, grandparents but Lilly never got to meet her dad, she only had her mom
"What do you want me to do now?."Kathleen turned to Nicole, she had been begging her to allow her sleep in a friend's place."Nic, I do not want to talk about this anymore." Kathleen huffed and said, then started walking up the stairs.She walked into Fiona's room and sat down beside her.Nicole came running in, but halted when she saw Kat sitting beside Fiona.The both older women were now looking at her, Kat said, "Nicole, are you here to ask your grandma to beg me?."Nicole almost broke into tears."Mom.."Fiona looked from kat to Nicole."What is going on?."Kat answered, looking at Nicole, "Your precious granddaughter is begging me to let her sleep over a friend's place. When I was at her age, I'd never think of that," She finished and Nicole looked down."Who's this friend?, because I know you don't have friends," Aiden asked, making everyone look at him. No one even noticed he was standing at the threshold. Kat could not take her eyes off him, he looked really handsome in a ca
Noelle ran outside, cutting Aiden off on what he was about to say to Dylan."Did you know she remembered?."Aiden and Dylan were confused."She remembered what?." He'd asked.Noelle breathed out. The way she ran had made her out of breath. She was trying to calm down too."Kat got back her memory."Aiden's eyes widened as he took up the run inside.Dylan and Noelle looked at each other for another moment without speaking to each other.He came closer to her and picked up her hand."I'm sorry that I walked out on you earlier." He said, lowly.Noelle smiled and hugged him quickly."I see that you are happy over the news."She disengaged from the hug."All my life, my life has evolved around Kathleen. I shared in her pains and in her happy days. I never really cared if I lived for her but I am glad. Do you know why?. She is fine. She's okay. And her sorrow days are over now.""You're a good friend. You've stood by her and you've fulfilled what a sister would do."He tucked her hair behin
"Helena?." Kat called."Kathleen," Helena called back."Wow. You two know each other, but I thought you lost your memory forever," Clara said and earned a glare from Kat and Helena."You. How dare you?. How dare you destroy my life?." Kat fumed and started getting up. Her eyes had turned stone cold and her hands were clenched."Not only did you destroy Natalie's life, you went ahead to destroy hers?. Why do you keep hurting the people I care for?." Helena stated firmly. Her guns were firmly pointed at Clara."If you come close to me, I will kill you both." Clara stated with fear.Just then, the police came running around them with their guns. All pointing their guns at Clara."Get down now!." One of the policemen yelled at Clara.It didn't take long before Clara realized that she lost. She had lost her battle. Her eyes were fixated at Aiden who had come running to Kathleen. A tear dropped as she saw both hugged and Aiden kissed her passionately.Her face went red.She screamed."Noooo
She snatched the binocular away and rushed outside.She viewed from the front porch.She didn't know this person.Who's this person?.She squinted her eyes and took a look again.That face?.What?.…...End of recapKathleen stood at the middle of the field, looking towards the direction of Clara in which she had taken in. She breathed out, watching her come closer. She'd thought that Clara was one tough girl who fought a million times after seeing lots of huge fighting men beside her, but she thought wrong, Clara was an opposite.A girl who had a silk skin, beautiful eyes and innocent looks. She'd imagined if she at all had left a prison. Clara was beautiful and classic and…"Wow..you look different." Clara cut off her thoughts with a strong voice.Okay, Kathleen underestimated her looks. She's really rude.Kathleen didn't wanna go round the bush but said in a very straight tone."Where's my daughter?."Clara smirked."Ooh. You've got some balls now. I didn't expect to see you.""You
She reached her room and sat down, her eyes looking into the phone every minute, waiting for any call.Suddenly, Aiden walked in. She breathed out and didn't look at him.Aiden walks further and stands in front of her, but doesn't touch her.Aiden mumbled, "Okay, I'm sorry." He apologized.Kat looked up, in her eyes, he was tired. He wanted everything to end, it was like everything was not gonna ever end in his family. His family was never gonna be together and his enemies made sure of that."You don't have to apologize.." She said but paused midway and looked up at him. Her eyes glinted, although she knew nothing about this woman, she was bent on getting her hands on her. She'd wished she found a way to catch her.Aiden bent down quickly, "I promise to get her out of the way, nothing will happen to you or our daughter." He sincerely stated.Kat shrugged."Do everything you can, Aiden."Aiden smiled and got up. He needed to shower and get ready for what is to come. He pulled off his w
"Kathleen, Kathleen…"Nicole called but Kat didn't look up. She was speaking to one of the maids in the kitchen, and Nicole was surprised.She walked into the kitchen and touched her and Kat turned instantly."I've been calling you, you seem not to answer."Kat was confused, "Call me?.""I've been screaming your name for like ages," Nicole repeated.It then dawned on Kat that she was called Kathleen, not Lisa."Oh my god!. I'm so sorry. I've not been acquainted with the name yet. You know I lived with this name for five years."Noelle nodded understandably."Aiden asked me to remind you of the doctor's appointment. He just left for his office now,""How could he just leave like that?, he was supposed to take me there," She said, frowning."It was urgent, anyway I could take you there and maybe we could catch up like old times, I will tell you about yourself to help you remember,"Kat smiled at Noelle, she appreciated her, "Thank you, Noelle. I'm very happy that you could help. I still
